“Family friendly” – but no women allowed.

A mosque has banned women and girls over the age of 12 from competing in a charity park run.

The fundraising event, called the Muslim Charity Run and organised by East London Mosque, follows a 5km route and takes place on Sunday….

The run’s website describes it as being “family-friendly” with “inclusive atmosphere”, but also states: “This is open to men, boys of all ages and girls under 12, but everyone is welcome at the park to cheer on the runners.

Lovely place, the East London Mosque:

More recently, in a sermon ahead of the first anniversary of the October 7 Hamas attacks, Imam Shaykh Muzzammil Ahmad described Israel as a “racist European Zionist project”, calling the Jewish state “genocidal” and “a project of colonialism”.
